中新社纽约8月25日电(记者 孙宇挺)纽约警察局局长凯利25日早上接受媒体采访时
指出,昨日发生的帝国大厦枪击案中受伤的9人都是被警察所误伤。
凯利称,当时枪手并没有向警察开枪。昨日有一个目击者称看到枪手约翰逊曾向警
方开火,但事实并非如此,没有证据表明他曾开枪。
凯利表示,受伤9人中有3人是被警察直接枪击误伤,还有6人是被碎片等物所伤。
目前已经有6个人离开了医院,剩下留院3人目前情况稳定。
受伤9人包括8个纽约市居民,另一人来自北卡。
昨日约翰逊杀人之后迅速离开犯案现场,在第五大道帝国大厦正门附近,与正在那
里值勤的两个警察遭遇,尔后两警联手出击,最终将掏枪准备射击的枪手击毙。
昨天晚间纽约警察局公布了上述这段监控视频,整个视频时长不过10秒。
根据媒体报道,纽约警方表示,当时警察共开了16枪,一个警察开了9枪,另一个
开了7枪。其中约翰逊至少身中7枪,但另有9个行人在交火中受伤。
纽约市长布隆伯格24日在案发后现场举行的记者会上也曾表示,部分伤者可能是警
察误伤。
据媒体报道,枪手杰弗里-约翰逊上世纪70年代中期曾在美国海岸警卫队服役。 | r*******3 发帖数: 10886 | 2 NEW YORK (AP) — All nine people injured during a dramatic confrontation
between police and a gunman outside the Empire State Building were wounded
by gunfire from the two officers, police said Saturday, citing ballistics
evidence.
The veteran patrolmen who opened fire on the suit-clad gunman, Jeffrey
Johnson, had only an instant to react when he whirled around and pointed a .
45-caliber pistol at them as they approached him from behind on a busy
sidewalk.
Officer Craig Matthews shot seven times, and Officer Robert Sinishtaj fired
nine times, police said. Neither had ever fired their weapons before on a
patrol.
The volley of gunfire felled Johnson in just a few seconds and left nine
other people bleeding on the sidewalk.
In the initial chaos Friday, it wasn't clear whether Johnson or the officers
were responsible for the trail of the wounded, but based on ballistic and
other evidence, "it appears that all nine of the victims were struck either
by fragments or by bullets fired by police," Police Commissioner Raymond
Kelly told reporters Saturday at a community event in Harlem.
Police officials have said the officers appeared to have no choice but to
shoot Johnson, whose body had 10 bullet wounds in the chest, arms and legs.
The officers confronted Johnson as he walked, casually, down the street
after gunning down a former co-worker on the sidewalk outside the office
they once shared. The shooting happened at 9 a.m., as the neighborhood
bustled with people arriving for work.
The gunman and his victim, Steve Ercolino, had a history of workplace
squabbles before Johnson was laid off from their company, Hazan Import Corp.
, a year ago. At one point, the two men had grappled physically in an
elevator.
John Koch, the property manager at the office building where the men worked,
said security camera footage showed the two pushing and shoving. The tussle
ended when Ercolino, a much larger man, pinned Johnson against the wall of
the elevator by the throat, Koch said. Ercolino let him go after a few
moments, and the two men went their separate ways.
"They didn't like each other," Koch said.
After shooting Ercolino, Johnson, an eccentric T-shirt designer and avid
bird-watcher who wore a suit every day, even when photographing hawks in
Central Park, walked away as if nothing had happened.
Alerted by a construction worker, officers Matthews and Sinishtaj gave chase
as Johnson rounded a corner and walked along Fifth Avenue in front of the
landmark skyscraper.
A security videotape from the scene shows several civilians — including
three sitting on a bench only a few feet away — scattering as the officers
opened fire.
Police have determined that three people were struck by whole bullets — two
of which were removed from victims at the hospital — and the rest were
grazed "by fragments of some sort," Kelly said.
Two women with leg wounds and a man with a wound to his buttocks required
surgery and remained hospitalized Saturday. They were listed in stable
condition.
Both Matthews, 39, and Sinishtaj, 40, joined the nation's largest police
department 15 years ago.
Matthews had drawn attention this year by suing the New York Police
Department, accusing his superiors of unfairly punishing him for not meeting
arrest quotas. A judge threw out the complaint.
The union representing the two officers didn't immediately respond to a
message left seeking comment.
The shooting didn't deter tourists from flocking to the Empire State
Building as usual on Saturday.
Patricia Flynn, 57, a retired schoolteacher, visited the building's peak
with her elderly mother, who once worked in the skyscraper as a secretary.
"But I didn't tell her what happened," said Flynn, adding that her mother
was unaware of Friday's shooting. "And she really enjoyed the view."
A group of 31 tourists from France held a meeting Friday night at their
nearby hotel to decide whether to cancel their planned Empire State Building
visit.
"We were scared, and we thought it was a risk," said Catherine Krukar, 38, a
teacher.
But in the end, they went ahead with the visit, she said after descending
from the observation tower,
"We know it can happen anywhere, and we wanted to see the Empire State
Building," Krukar said. "It was beautiful!"
